Tommasi - Le Rosse - Pinot Grigio 2013
Tasting note
The nose is spicy with hints of tropical fruit, the flavors clean and crisp,
and the body round and soft with a crisp finish. This Valpolicella Pinot
Grigio can be described as sitting between the richer, more concentrated
Pinot Grigio from Friuli to the north, and racier styles from the Veneto at
large. Excellent with appetizers, soups and fish.
Vinification
The wine is fermented entirely in stainless
steel for 4 months.
Estate
Tommasi is historically and today a standard
bearer of the Amarone appellation, and one
of the most important quality producers
in the Veneto. The family-run estate was
founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in
the village of Pedemonte, which lies in the
heart of the Valpolicella Classico region.
The family owns 234 acres in Valpolicella
Classico, making them the single largest
land owners in the area. Over the years they
have expanded their holdings in other areas
of the Veneto, and now own 370 acres. As
has been the case since the winery’s establishment,
the family works only with grapes
they grow, an important quality decision
and reflection of their deep connection to
the Valpolicella soil.
Vineyard
The vineyard rows are planted extremely
close together and receive intense pruning,
resulting in low yields and excellent richness.
Wine
Tommasi’s Pinot Grigio is grown at the
Prunea estate in the Sant’Ambrogio valley
of Valpolicella Classica region, acquired by
the family in 1997. Le Rosse is one of the
four main sub-plots of this vineyard, and is
planted entirely to Pinot Grigio grapes.
